Unemployed Warned Against Coming to San Francisco.
The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Board of
Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco, on March 4, 1912"
Whereas, There are at present in San Francisco a large number of un-
employed men and women, many of whom have been lured hither by false
and misleading reports and advertisements published throughout the country,
representing that there exists a demand for labor in connection with the
Exposition; and
Whereas, This condition operates injuriously to the interests of our
citizens, and will, unless corrected, prove a serious detriment to the city;

Resolved, That in the judgment of this Board, the labor forces now
available at a moment's notice are more than sufficient to meet any possible
demand now, or for a considerable time to come, and we would therefore
warn all persons seeking employment against coming to San Francisco,
since by so doing they are likely to be disappointed in their own hopes and
certain to increase the evils of unemployment among the people already here.
